The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is one of the most beloved boulevards in the world. Renowned for its theatres, sidewalk cafes, and chic boutiques, it extends for more than a mile from Place de la Concorde to Place Charles de Gaulle. Champs-Elysées is French for Elysian Fields, the heroes’ paradise, and France still celebrates such heroes with a military parade here every 14th July, Bastille Day. Book one of our “Illuminations” tours of Paris to see its spectacular facades lit up at night.
